THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Missed it??

"Mrs, why is the food a little?" juminten asked as he saw tonight Mahira eating only a little.

"Not too hungry, bi. Soon if I get hungry again, I'll eat." Mahira stands. He took the vitamins that the doctor gave him and drank them.

I don't know why Mahira has become so heartless for this dinner. Is it because Edmond doesn't exist? Didn't he always eat with Edmond?

"Madam, if you want to eat again soon, call aunty? Aunty's gonna reheat the food."

Mahira nodded. "I'll go to the room first, bi."

Edmond had left for Jakarta this afternoon. Lerry came to pick him up. Lerry even had lunch together.

After the departure of Edmond and Lerry, Mahira felt something was missing. Even a nap doesn't feel good. In that case he was used to taking his own naps except on Saturdays and Sundays.

Mahira took her phone. There's a message from Edmond.

Good night, dear...

I call you not lifted?

is it dinner, huh?

Eat a lot, baby?

love *****you******* and i Miss you.

Mahira's heart trembled reading the message. Apparently Edmond up to 4 times contacted him but because he was in the dining room so he did not hear the sound of the phone. Mahira called Edmond's phone again. Unfortunately Edmond's phone is off. He finally sent a message.

I'm sorry, I was eating and hp

it's in the room. Is everything going

by smoothly?

After sending the message, Mahira went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Then he went back to the room to go to sleep. I don't know why he felt sleepy. Maybe because he was not sleeping.

********

Lerry looked at his best friend who was busy enjoying the drink in his hand. Both of them are in one of the pubs that they subscribe to if they come to Jakarta.

The two had just finished bowling to relieve fatigue after arriving in Jakarta. Tomorrow morning they will fight again to get permission for the location of the coal mine.

"Revelation, don't get drunk!"

Edmond smiled. "I haven't been drunk in a long time."

"Last we got drunk when we managed to buy the entire assets of that company right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where is Ica?"

"I don't know. He finished dinner, he just disappeared from the restaurant."

Lerry smiling. "Did you know about Ica?"

"Yet. I don't want him to know either. I've asked Juminten's lips not to tell him anything about Ica."

"What if Ica comes to see Mahira? You know what he's like."

"She did come to see the house where we lived. That's why last Tuesday I was quick to go home when Mahira called and said that there was a tall woman in a white car watching our rented house."

"Oh yeah? Then you've been conformation to Ica if it's him?"

Edmond took another sip of his drink. "Yes." Yeah."

Lerry ordered a drink. "Mahira is a beautiful girl. He looks gentle and kind. Very suitable to be a wife. Moreover, the cooking is very good. Every now and then, I can have lunch at your house."

"Originally you stopped looking at Mahira with such a look of admiration." Threaten Edmond who knows the nature of his best friend's playboy.

Lerry's laughter sounded a little mocking. "You jealous? Do you really love her?"

"Already, ah. I'm going back to the hotel."

"It's only 10, you know."

"Remember, tomorrow at 8 we have to be ready."

"You call Ica to remind me. You know if the kid's been in the disco, he'll forget the time "

Edmond took his phone out of his pants pocket. He contacted Monalisa but the girl did not pick up her phone.

"He didn't pick it up."

Lerry shrugged his shoulders. "She may have been waiting for you in the room."

"Fuck you!" Edmond punched his best friend in the shoulder. "I'm leaving, huh? You're the one who reminded Ica." said Edmond then immediately headed to the pub. The hotel where they stayed was so close to Edmond that it was just a walk away.

Arriving at the hotel, he immediately went to the bathroom to shower and sleep. He felt tired. When they got off the plane, they immediately discussed with the lawyer until dinner.

After taking a shower, Edmond picked up his phone and turned it on again. It turned out that there was a call from Mahira and there was also a message from her.

He called Mahira again. Twice he called him and Mahira picked up the phone.

"Hallo....!" there is a raspy Mahira voice typical of people just waking up.

"Did I wake you up? Sorry, my dear. I just miss hearing your voice."

"Has the project just finished?"

"Finished at dinner last night. Then I went for a while to the pub to get rid of the burnout."

"You drinking?"

"Little."

"I've never seen you drink here."

"How dare I drink near you. I remember reading what you wrote on the self-introduction paper. You're most anti-boys like to drink liquor."

"You still remember that? That was almost 6 years ago?"

"Anything about you, how have I ever forgotten it?"

"Thank you, Ed."

"I'm switching to Videocall call huh?" Edmond pressed the camera mark on his phone, before long saw the face of Mahira who was sitting leaning on the headboard. She wears a white nightgown with a spaghetti strap.

"Hallo darling?" greet Edmond while waving his hand.

"Do you miss me?"

"Little."

"Title, anyway. On the thing I miss you so much. There was something empty next to me. Usually I'm bobo while I'm hugging you."

"Gombal."

"I'm not a tombal, baby. That nightgown you never wore when I was there."

"This slumber is too sexy and thin."

"Lho why is it? I've always seen what's behind that dress."

"Ed ...!" Mahira glares.

Edmond laughs. "It feels like flying into Samarinda right now and hugging you."

Mahira laughs. "Just sleep, Ed. Tomorrow, your activities will be very busy."

"Yes. 8 Hours should be ready. We will be lining up with several companies. I don't know what time our schedule is coming in. Pray for success, right?"

"Always prayed."

"I love you my wife."

"Good night, Ed."

The phone connection was also lost. Edmond put his phone back on the nightstand. Mahira did not reply to the expression of love that Edmond said. Has Mahira not fallen in love with him? What should he do so that Teddy's position in Mahira's heart will be lost?

************

"Mrs, what are we cooking today?" tanya Juminten finished Mahira enjoying her breakfast.

"Not cooking, bi. We'll just eat outside. I've been bored since yesterday at home. It just eats, sleeps, plays, watches TV. I'm just like aunty walking around eating out."

"Ah, madam. Not worthy aunt way same mistress. Aunt at home."

"Who does not deserve. Anyway aunt just take a shower and wear neat clothes. I'm gonna take a shower too. 30 minutes we're leaving."

Juminten was glued to where he stood while staring at Mahira who had disappeared from the dining room. During his time working at Edmond's mess residence in the company, Edmond and Monalisa were indeed kind to him. But they never invited Juminten to eat together. Juminten should also eat after they eat. It is very different from Mahira. Last night he asked Juminten to come eat with him. This morning at breakfast. Is Mahira not as bad as they say?

**********

1 hour later, Juminten and Mahira were in one of the malls. Mahira herself brought a car. Based on the geogle map instructions, they can get where they want to go. Understand, Mahira has not been so memorized by the streets in this city.

When passing through a bank in the mall, Mahira's steps stopped.

"What's up, madam?"

Mahira looks sad. "I like working in the bank. That's my goal."

"The lady was already the wife of Mr. Moreno. What else is working for?"

"If I hadn't moved here, I'd still be working at the bank. Unfortunately Ed asked me to stop and go with him."

"Oh, is it hard to work at the bank?"

Mahira nodded. He took out his phone and showed me some photos of him wearing the uniform of one of the private banks.

Juminten was surprised to find that Mahira had worked. Why do they say that she is a matre woman who only pursues the wealth of Mr. Edmond huh?

"Auntie, let's go!" Mahira took Juminten by the hand and walked around the mall again.

Finally all day until night, Mahira used her time to walk with Juminten. He also bought some clothes for the woman and invited her to lunch and dinner at the restaurant in the mall complex. Mahira even had a Videocall with Edmond this afternoon to show his safety with Juminten.

"Thank you, madam" said Juminten as they reached home.

"Together, bi. I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed. So that tomorrow we can get up early and prepare food for Edmond. He said he came by plane during the day. So the afternoon is here."

"Mrs don't drink milk?"

"Ah, would you please make it? I'm gonna take a shower. It feels so hot."

Juminten. For some reason all the bad images that people have ever said about Mahira, are slowly beginning to disappear. Mahira's good. It radiates from his behavior every day. Even when Juminten accidentally dropped one of his expensive cutlery, Mahira did not scold him. Instead, he asked Juminten to be careful in working.

***********

In his sleep, Mahira dreams of being hugged by Edmond. He felt warm in the man's arms. Did Mahira miss Edmond to the point of dreaming it?

Mahira opened her eyes He looked at the clock walker on the nightstand which showed the time at 2 am. Mahira was thirsty. He woke up to drink but felt his body held back by a burly hand. Mahira looked over in shock.

"Ed?"

Edmond opened his eyes slowly. It seems he hasn't been asleep for long. "Darling?"

"When did you come? Didn't you say tomorrow?"

Edmond smiled. "I can't wait for tomorrow. Missing this is hard if held until tomorrow."

"You are..., is the job there done?"

Edmond nodded. "The genitals we have. It was finished at 3pm. I immediately found a ticket to go home. Got a plane at 8 p.m. I stopped by a boutique for pregnant women. I bought some maternity clothes for you and came straight here."

"Oh my goodness, Ed. Aren't you tired?"

Edmond held Mahira's face. "That's a must if you have to wait tomorrow. Two nights of sleep without you don't feel good."

"You're this...!" Mahira was embarrassed.

Edmond approached and hugged his wife tightly. "Ah, it felt so good to go into this room and hug you again."

Mahira's heart became warm again. Did Edmond miss him that much?

"What's wrong?" ask Edmond.

Mahira shakes. "I'm glad you're here."

Edmond looked down and kissed Mahira's lips very hard. What Mahira had just said was indeed stirring up a passion in him. Mahira welcomed the kiss with a happy heart. Both are ready to pass this night by fulfilling the longing to satisfy each other.

**********

Good morning.....

There's something sweet about Edmond....

Are you beginning to know what mysteries lie behind this marriage?
